actually, not. found the shrimp dead on the bottom. whole, untouched. i fed the bta, so the shrimp i have had since january, sh*t, didn’t get snailed instead
Maybe he got pistol shrimped? lol
That stinks. Can’t get a brighter colored shrimp then that. No clue what might have happened?
nope. i did a 10% water change this morning, but didn’t notice him, so he was probably dead by then. nothing else wrong in the tank, looks like.
That stinks. I personally believe shrimp to be one of the most sensitive animals we keep in marine aquariums. It stinks when LFS lump them in with other clean up crew animals and say they can be kept in a tank shortly after cycling when the hobbyist is still not prepared to keep a stable system.
I personally have lost many in the past in aquariums where many other fish, corals, and invertebrates have done well in. We do our best to understand what has happened in situations like this, but it’s such a complex microenvironment we will never have all the answers. Sorry for the lose Paul.
Sorry too hear Paul.
Thats what I've done when i've lost fish.
